ORDERS
Delivery is complimentary in France and Europe on orders from €250. Below this amount, costs depend on the destination and are shown at checkout. Every parcel is tracked and delivered against signature by Colissimo. Full details are on our Delivery page.
Your order is prepared within two working days. Colissimo then delivers it within 24 to 48 hours in France, in around three days in continental Europe, and from five days for other destinations. These times are indicative and may be longer during customs checks.
We deliver to mainland France, the French overseas territories, the European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. For the latter two, import duties and taxes are paid at checkout: nothing will be asked of you on delivery. If your country is not listed, write to us and we will look for a solution with a suitable carrier.
No, all orders placed on sukeparis.com are prepared and shipped from our logistics centre in France, after each piece has been inspected.
Each square travels in its SUKē box, wrapped in tissue paper, ready to be given.
We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards, as well as Apple Pay and PayPal. Every payment is encrypted and processed by certified providers: your bank details are never stored by SUKē.

PRODUCT
Our motifs are drawn by Chinese artists and conceived in Paris. The squares are then woven and printed in the Hangzhou region, one of the great centres of Chinese silk for over a thousand years, and inspected before being shipped to you from France. Their story continues on The House page.
Only one: pure natural silk from the mulberry silkworm, with no synthetic fibre. We chose it at 18 momme, dense enough to hold its shape, fine enough to catch the light and tie without stiffness.
Momme is the traditional unit used to measure the density of silk. The higher it is, the denser, more opaque and more durable the fabric. Our squares are woven at 18 momme.
Entrust it to a dry-cleaning professional, ideally one used to silk scarves: occasional cleaning is usually enough. Avoid the washing machine, the tumble dryer and hand washing, as well as direct contact with perfume. Store it flat, away from light and humidity, ideally in its box. All our advice is on our Care page.
Some of our squares are produced in small series. When a design is sold out, write to us: we will let you know whether a new edition is planned.
For an event or a special edition, we can consider a dedicated creation. Write to us describing your project.
THE HOUSE
SUKē is a house of silk squares founded by Tianming Su and Alexandre Crenn, between Paris and China. Our motifs are drawn by Chinese artists, conceived in Paris, then woven and printed in Hangzhou. We display the words “Made in China” openly: for us, it is not an origin we keep quiet, but an intention we sign. The full story can be read on The House page.
SUKē is written 素珂 and pronounced “soo-kuh”. The first character, 素 (sù), refers to raw, undyed silk, and by extension to simplicity and purity. The second, 珂 (kē), names a white stone akin to jade, worn in ancient ornaments, which evokes nobility and clarity. Together, they speak of a precious sobriety: silk in its truth, the light of jade.
